Final countdown

Window Seat

BEFORE

AFTER

I still have the serger here because the place I think I am going to put it is not ready.

The first quilt I made needs repair and it is already dark, and I can not repair it in the dark.

Desk

BEFORE

AFTER

Not perfect, but with us working on it almost all the time, I can't do much more right now.

There are papers that are being used and a file that needs to be used.

This surface is an on-going project.

I think that I will wait to attack the scary corner and maybe do the What's in the Box (WITB) Challenge on Stashbusters to get through that one.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge

I just can't help myself. :(

I have to join in on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

I have so many scraps.

I want to use my scraps.

My sampler group is doing the Sparkling sampler quilt as a quilt along this year, so I think I will combine the two.

We will be starting next week, so that gives me time to pull some purple fabrics.

Design Wall Monday

Judy over at Patchwork Times does a design wall Monday post each week.

I have two design walls, but I use my curtains for projects that are on-going or needing inspiration.

Jo's Club is waiting for more units.

I'll trim and sew together.

These are always small quilts. 

Not on the design wall, but ready to sew together. 

Stalled T-shirt quilt.

If I would just start it, I would be excited and get it done. 

BOW waiting for next block. 

Quilty Fun is waiting to be enlarged.

I think I have a few ideas now.

UFOs

Well, I do think i am a gluten for punishment.  

The Challenges

LOL

All People Quilt

Patriotic Stars

I think these are ready to sew into columns, so that won't be too difficult.

I took out the patriotic crumbs too, so maybe I can get a border from them and use that UFO up too.

Book it

I'll be using the Borders, Bindings & Edges to add to this to make it a top.

I think I'll be using this one for my OMG over at Elm Street Quilt for January.

Stashbuster's 3's Game

has the Jo's Club Blue

and a T-shirt quilt

Get it Done - Patchwork Times

This is Jo's Club - Blue

I have a little more than half the blocks made.

I did change the order for #2 & #3 because of a stashbuster #'s game.

This came up there and I thought I'd just share with the Get It Done Challenge.

CyberQuilters has a Storm at Sea challenge and I think I'll be doing a small pillow for it.

I was thinking about doing the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

The color is purple for January.

I have a purple UFO that could be worked on, but I'm not sure I should over commit myself more than I already have.

I suppose time will tell.

I am excited about these quilts being finished, so let's get to it.
